The visitor at Constantinople who

How TO PRESERVE THE COMPLEXION.
English women, as q rule, possess in
youth and keep till aged the finest COM
plexions. Their climate is kind to them.
Its perpetual moisture seems to keep
them in perpetual bloom, as it does
their wonderful roses. But besides
the climate, their customs favor them.
English girls are kept in the nursery
or the school-room, free from the ex-
element Of late hours, rich food, adult
society, fashionable dress or habits, till
their constitutions are established and
their physiques developed. The sim
pie food. daily bath, hours spent out
Of doors. on foot OF on horseback, and
uneventful life, give them sound stom-
achs, hearty hvers and tranquil nerves,
and the beautiful coloring Is a matter
of course. 1t cannot be too strongly
said that health is the only safe reno
vatoF of the complexion. Cleanliness
is the one universal cosmetic. And II
the women of this generation have lost
their freshness through carelessness
or ignorance, or spite OF climate, they
can at least rear their daughters to pre-
serve that inheritance OF beauty 70
which most Americans are born
